Win or lose this is a game -
You could let it pick your brain for weeks and months, just replay it over and over, won't do you any good at all. When someone loses a loved one and they do that it only brings forth anguish. I feel acceptance is sometimes the key, it happened, now you have to react to it. Giving up is not an option.

Parker, manu, nick had horrible shot selection in the fourth. They hardly stepped up tonight. This team needs to realize that pathetic scrubs like michael ruffin, caron butler, etc. will give their 110% against the world champs. They need to reciprocate.

Like someone in the chatroom said, maybe we should just cancel the rest of the Saturday night games....seems like Saturday night = blowout loss night.

Now, I'll be fair, both games were on the road and the 2nd of a back-to-back....so I'm not as much worried as I am disgusted by the effort. Going into the fourth the whole Spurs team had that body language that says, 'we're getting our butts whooped tonight, we're going to lose'.

Tim didn't have a good night, that's an understament, but even so....it was the lack of any type of team defense (ie peremeter defense where a man comes over from weak-side to help double....to prevent penetration and dish), that stuck a fork in the Spurs tonight.

Now, obviously this game is way different if Duncan wasn't tired....I think this sums up the game:

This Spurs team is deep enough that they didn't both Brent and Fin. HOWEVER one of the two would've helped because Melvin Sanders isn't gonna scare anyone any time soon.

Besides giving up the Spurs needed to stop going to Tim tonight. That seriously was their down fall. I don't understand the concept of not going to the hot hand, Manu (the Spurs second best player) and continusly going to Tim, after he kept missing all his shots. Ugh.

i also couldn't understand that, we were down 7 to start the 4th and we went to tim every time and he just wasn't hitting that shot and before you knew it the lead was 17.

very disappointing performance tonight, but it's not a biggie . . . it simply wasn't our nite @ all . . . and it definitely was Arenas' . . . but there's 75 more games this season . . . let's hope they learn from this, and let's all move on.

I thought Tim was getting beat up pretty badly in the low post tonight. I was disappointed that the Wiz's frontcourt players were getting away with all the hacking and slapping, but I guess that's part of the game: some nights you're going to get the calls and some night's you won't. I think Tim was really frustrated tonight and he let it get to his head, which is unusual for him. Instead of getting more aggressive and taking it all the way to the basket for dunks he kept settling for chip shots which just wouldn't fall. Man, it seem like there was freaking lid on the basket every time Tim shot the ball.

That was a painful game to watch. I hate seeing this team give up so many easy shots. Where the hell is the defense we've come to know? Crap I hate nights like tonight. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Just got back from MCI Center. Arenas was ridiculous tonight, and even a great effort by Ginobili couldn't stop him. It seemed like Duncan was always getting pushed about a foot from where he wanted to be on the court, and he took a loooooooooooong time thinking about his free throws when he started struggling. Parker played well but obviously couldn't contain Arenas. Van Exel and Bowen were great. Horry and Rasho seemed lost. With Manu and Tony both having success it seemed like they forgot about Timmy in the second and he wasn't able to get on track in the 3rd. Rough game to watch, and the DC fans made sure to heckle me as I left the arena. It was a good sight to see Antonio Daniels come by and give hugs to Timmy and Pop before the game.
